Ed Hardy Car Shades
Yes, the Ed Hardy brand has gone mainstream with their inclusion at Costco. Besides Ed Hardy clothes, you can find Ed Hardy windshield shades.
Adding su.pr to Pulpconnection
I’m tweaking things a little by adding StumbleUpon’s new su.pr service to Pulpconnection. Su.pr is yet another URL shortening service (still under development) but has the appeal of tapping into the popular StumbleUpon “stumbles.”
Su.pr also has its own WordPress plugin which makes configuration much easier, and su.pr even supports shortening URLs using your own domain. For example, links I “shorten” can look like https://www.pulpconnection.net/asdf, though that’s not a very short URL. I’ll have to play with that a bit.
I also stopped my automatic Twitterfeed that publishes Pulpconnection updates to my secondary Twitter account of @pulpconnection. Instead, I’m leaving that duty to su.pr, but don’t worry, Pulpconnection updates are still Twitter fed to my primary Twitter account.
Let’s see what changes su.pr brings…
Apple Stores Fixing Cracked iPhone Screens In-house
Hope I won’t need this service, but Apple Stores can now fix cracked iPhone screens right in the store. Your iPhone needs to be under warranty, or you need AppleCare to take advantage of this repair though.
Excellent Reading at Ann Taylor Kahala Mall
I must say that the Ann Taylor location in Kahala Mall has some excellent reading material. Lots of classics!
Must be there are a few husbands and kids who hang out in the waiting area while wives and mommies shop for clothes.
Gassing Up at Sam’s Club
The popular gas stations run by Costco have a new competitor in Hawaii with the opening of Sam’s Club’s own gas station. Though from the looks of things, I don’t know if this gas station will be around with business like this.
I don’t mind the non-existent lines though, makes gassing up so much faster. 🙂
Thanks to The Counter!
Just wanted to say thanks to The Counter for giving Hawaii its own Twitter special last night. If you bought two burgers on “Twitter Tuesday” then you’d get either free sweet fries or a dessert.
To beat the crowds, we got there a tad bit early but got the okay that the special would still apply. :) We went with the traditional Counter Burger, my custom creation, a peanut butter shake, and some free sweet fries.
So ono!
And by the time we were leaving, the mass of Hawaii tweeters were congregating for their Counter dinner. And oh yeah, congratulations to Ryan Kanno for being voted the most addicted to The Counter. In his honor, I call my custom made Counter burger “If Kanno Were a Carnivore.”
Did I Just Break the Law?
The Hawaii “cell phone” ban kicked in today, so I did I break the law by changing tracks on my iPod?
And yes, my car engine was running.
I may be okay since the HPD FAQ about this ban mentions this caveat:
A violation occurs when the operator of the motor vehicle holds the device in his/her hand for whatever reason, i.e., changing playlists, adjusting the volume, changing photographs, and watching or shuffling a video
My iPod is “mounted” using a Belkin TuneBase so I don’t actually hold my iPod. Did I just break the law or what?
The Most Addicted to The Counter Burger Is…
The people have spoken, and the undisputed, most addicted fan of The Counter burgers is none other than Ryan Kanno. @ryankanno garnered over half the votes, beating the fanatic likes of @abaggy and @angelakeen.
Even with an impassioned entreaty for Pinoy support, @abaggy couldn’t keep up with the social engineering of Mr. Kanno. Congratulations Ryan! You get pulpy bragging rights until next time where contenders like @melissa808 are already lining up.
Call Me Ultra Man
Not that superhero dude, but someone who’s into the Ultra line of music. My latest buy is the just released Ultra Weekend 5 (Jason Nevins Presents). On the pricey side at $15, but you do get 30 tracks.
Does Ultra Weekend satisfy my dance music prerequisites? Yep, sure does.
- Britney Spears remix – Circus
- Sped up ballad – All That Mattered
- Popular stuff – Coldplay’s Viva la Vida, Kelly Clarkson’s My Life Would Suck Without You
- Gems – Addicted, Alive, I Remember
Lots of other solid hits. Would have liked a lower cost like $12 but still a good collection. Check it out on

Softball Emotion
Coco Bean posted this story about the return of Tony Gwynn. While a touching tale, I personally find this softball story of true sportsmanship and integrity more tear jerking.
Watch the story of Sara Tucholsky, Liz Wallace, Mallory Holtman and think if you could or would do the same.
I Love Subtle Songs
Don’t you love songs that you really have to listen to in order to understand the subtlety of the lyrics? Those that make you think for a moment about the hidden subtext of the song. Such as it is for today’s Amazon MP3 special, Jeremih.
For $3, you can own this entire album that releases tomorrow for other music retailers, but Amazon has an exclusive early release. Then you can try to figure out what his hit, “Birthday Sex,” is about.
